    My birthday is 2 months away.

    Someone please buy me 5 x ST Maxx 315/75/16

    KTHXBYE


    EDIT: Wow. My 255/85/16's are rated at 53lbs each. 315/75/16 are 68lbs each! That's 15lbs per tire.

    EDIT Ditto: Actually... my Method NV's are 8" wide. 34-35" tires require 8.5"-11". So I'd be forced to get bigger wheels too. Damn. Okay someone has to buy me those too.

    So is the 255 taller than the 285?

    Yeah. I've always wondered if there's a real word difference though if you had two trucks side by side.

    SCS F5 - 17x8.5 Matte Gunmetal Cooper ST Maxx - 255.80.17
    Based on the tire size chart for the Cooper St Maxx:

    17" Wheels

    LT285/70R17 - 11.5 width - 32.99 diameter

    LT255/80R17- 10.2 width - 32.8 diameter

    16" Wheels

    LT285/75R16 - 11.7 width - 32.91 diameter

    LT255/85R16 - 10.2 width - 32.8 diameter


    I'd say the 285's are a ever so slightly taller.

    After discussions with some local guys I trimmed 3/4" out of the fender and smashed back the pinch weld to clear my 285/75/17 ST Maxxs at full stuff. The front fender body has a natural bend in it that is 3/4", so I free handed a line at the bend to start trimming. After trimmed I put the tire back in and stuffed it with a jack. Everything was clearing so I left it at that. Note my 2" original line that I'm glad I didn't cut first. I'm going to trim plastic flares a bit, maybe 1/4", waiting on some ordered fender clips to come to reinstall. Photo dump..

    did you just get the /75's? I keep slapping myself for not checking if they had them... I'll be going to that size once these /70's are done.

    I looked back through a few pages and couldn't find if you ever said what size you are running.

    So I haven't mounted my tires yet but I got a response from Cooper on what my tire pressure should be set to. I got this response from them, "Jason, I would go to 40psi all the way around on the LT265/75R16 tires. It should tow a trailer OK at those inflation pressures, but if you get some trailer sway you may add some inflation to help stiffen things up. Don’t overdo it! I would probably add at 5psi intervals until it feels better. Thanks, Les"

    They failed me this morning, but then again, I think every other tire would.

    100% my fault.
